E) HOW TO TRANSMIT OR RECEIVE A MESSAGE
Now that you have read the manual, make sure that your CB Radio is ready
for use (i.e. check that your antenna is connected).
Choose your channel (19, 27).
Choose your mode (AM/FM) which must be the same as that of your cor-
respondent.
Press the «push-to-talk» switch and announce your message «Attention sta-
tions, transmission testing» which will allow you to check the clearness and
the power of your signal. Release the switch and wait for a reply. You should
receive a reply like, «Strong and clear».
If you use a calling channel (19, 27) and you have established communication
with someone, it is common practice to choose another available channel
so as not to block the calling channel.
